Review of Suffragette (2015) by Moviemitch96 — 10 Nov 2015
Suffragette serves as a somewhat interesting period drama in some spots and the women's struggles are difficult to watch at times. However, for the most part the film feels too rushed, dull, and by the numbers.
Carey Mulligan gives a well-intentioned and headstrong performance, but unfortunately it's not enough to make the rest of the film truly worthwhile. Honestly, my favorite part of the film was when Meryl Streep briefly showed up towards the middle and gave a great speech, but then she left and was nowhere to be found for the rest of the film sadly.
So overall, while it was intriguing in some spots, due to its mostly formulaic approach I wouldn't really recommend it unless you want to see Mulligan in a potential Oscar-contending performance, because really that's the most that this film had going for it.
